Dr. Dech specializes in cataract surgeries, lid lesions, cyst and stye surgeries and glaucoma laser surgery. 

“I came to Estes Park because I wanted to start my own clinic,” Dr. Dech told the Gazette. “Everyone here was very kind and it is such a beautiful place to be. I plan to establish a strong practice where I can really get to know my patients. There is such a need for ophthalmology up here because of the age group in town.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
